they said, everyone who used to criticize the government before once integrated into the system He/She will be silence a typical example is Mr.Aten Awek Aten presidential spokesperson ( THE DRUM OF THE TRUTHs if you remembered this Author) Onyoti Adigo used to be one of the criticizer now wait let’s see if he still going to abuse the government! or maybe these people are just hunting for position

Recycling has no value. Yau from deputy Defense Minister, to wherever , minority leader to agriculture when guns are still roaring is not the solution to the problem of those who fought for their liberation from the north. Let me remind you Mr.Kiir, they fought for freedom, equality, justice and you have taken it from them after just 5 years of self respect. Time to restore all or leave.
